Things that make me go - HHMMM!!!! https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...72/do-you-have-a-shtf-rifle#Post17319372I noticed this post on the Hunting Rifle sub-forum and it got me to thinking - what exactly is a SHTF event? It has to have as many definitions as there are people who dwell on it. How does one determine what type of firearm they need when everyone likely has a different idea of what a SHTF moment is? Is it a Goverment take-over? Invasion of a foreign power? A societal breakdown? Running out of food supplies nationwide? Running out of fuel? Electrical grid failure? Riots? drover

drover Yes. It’s any one of those or all of those. I don’t know what a SHTF weapon is.

SHTF is like Porn. You might not be able to define it, but you know it when you see it.

When you don't have to turn on the news to know it's here, then it qualifies as SHTF.
Anything else is just propaganda.

You will see when Roe v W is flipped.
As Q said a few years ago, do not be concerned when you see the NG move into and take up positions in 12 major cities.

I don't care who said it, if you see that and don't get concerned you're a numbskull. If an anonymous person says it and you believe it that's just the icing on the cake. Or rather, the tinfoil on top of your pointy head.

Empty toilet paper roll
Out of beer

These are some examples I came up with off the top of my head.

The last 5 examples in the OP’s list are all one and th same.
The gun for it depends on where you live or where you’re at when it starts going down and getting ugly, I guess.
There’s no right answer, only the wrong one - nada.

That said, my good pal from TX just got himself a “Honeybadger” .300 blackout, from a maker
Right here in my hometown. That thing looks pretty ideal for any kind of semi-urban WHOOPSIE [bleep] situation that I could imagine.
I’d still go for a Springfield M1A1 scout

SHTF?
TEOTWAWKI?
Gotta thro in some Prepped Tacticool jargon.
SHTF can be as little as listening to the radio classifieds and hearing your
wife selling your tools, truck, guns,
or the power is out, the shelves are empty, the cops have roadblocks, and
the NG is hunting you as a Gun Turn in Resister.
